title: Amebic liver abscess. An unusual presentation.
abstract: Amebic liver abscess responds readily to appropriate therapy, but diagnosis may be difficult. In the case described, the patient's signs and symptoms were atypical, suggesting a hematologic malignancy. The correct diagnosis was made only after ultrasound revealed a mass in the liver.
